Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
Well I finally pulled the trigger and acquired a pre-owned pair of JA Profiles. It was a hard choice but I was able to get a much better price than what was available for a similarly pre-owned pair of Totems.  As luck would have it, just before th... 
Considering purchasing different speakers
OP,  it seems you have been looking at the JA Profiles in Windsor Locks, CT that had been for sale for quite a while. I have been wondering about them too but I'm way too far away to have sought  an audition.  If you are the one that recently boug... 
Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
Anyone actually heard the JA Profile? 
Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
Thank you. I appreciate your responses.  I've read that the Totem can be placed as close as 1 foot to the rear wall (I don't have much more than that space available).  Any idea about placement for the JA? 
Looking for impressions of Linn Majik 140 speakers
Nobody has anything to say about these speaker systems? 
2.5 or 3 way; why one over the other?
tatyana gets my question.  I appreciate all the info on the technical differences between 2, 2.5 and 3 way systems but I live far away from any place to audition speakers, let alone ones from several different manufacturers; so, when I see (in pri... 
2.5 or 3 way; why one over the other?
Thanks for the link but the info there doesn't really speak to my question.  I understand that a better quality 2 way system may well sound better than a lesser quality 3 way.  I was asking about systems from the same manufacturer, in the same pro... 
Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ?
Thanks for the recommendation Dave.  In my situation, I try to find a deal on a pair of used speakers in very good to excellent condition so I can turn them around without a big loss if things don't work out. I was watching a nice set of Winds at ... 
Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ?
No, it would be very difficult and time consuming for me to demo any speaker/amp combinations as I live way out in the boonies.  It would take me a full day to get to one or two shops that would have some of the gear I'd be interested in; and anot... 
Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ?
Hi Nutty,I've been discouraged by some of what I've read and heard. My amp may not be "good enough" to get the benefit of the Winds over less costlier speakers; and my room configuration may not be such to allow them adequate distance from the bac... 
Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ?
So, info@totem has replied. They say that there should be no issues with my amplification for the Winds; and that it would be best to have them placed at least 18" from the back wall.   Dave Serota says upgrade the quality of my amplification and ... 
Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ?
Wrote to Totem but haven't heard back yet. Called David Serota (at his correct phone number 215-725-4080); he is a very knowledgeable guy, willing to give advice, but his line of products are quite a step above my budget and he's not a big fan of ...

Thanks N.  I've just sent an email off to Totem and will probably call David Lewis as well.

GH,  I did not mean to diminish your response.  I appreciate any relevant information and thank you for trying to help me out. 
Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ?
I guess what I'm questioning is whether the Totem "house sound" is simpatico with the Peachtree Audio amp "house sound".  Clearly, with 440 watts at 8 ohms, the Grand Integrated has the oomph to drive almost anything, but it may not mate well with...
